Down Home lyrics

Just off of the beaten path
A little dot on a state road map
That`s where I was born and where I`ll die
Things move at a slower pace
Nobody`s in the rat race
And these days that`s a special way of life

Chorus:
Down home, where they know you by name
And treat you like family
Down home, a man`s godd word and s hand shake
Are all you need
Folks know, if they;re fallnig on hard times
They can fall back on
Thos of us raised up down home

In the corner of the hardware store
Gathered `round a checkerboard
Old men telling lies and crowning kings
Kids driving `round th eold town square
Tops rolled down in the coll night air
Do and see what`s shaking at the Dairy Queen

Rpeat Chorus

Bridge
When I was a boy, I couldn`t wait to leave this place
Butnow I want to see my children raised down home, down home

Folks know, if they`re falling on hard times
They can fall back on
Those of us raised up...

Repeat Chorus
